The Touran region is a region of the Pokémon world. It is located north of Johto. It is the setting of Pokémon Amber and Jade. It is inspired by the real-world Japanese region of Chūbu. The names of most of the cities in Touran are made of two words put together (Dawn Seed, Lila Vine, Amity Cove, Nova Stone, etc.) rather than cloud formations or fragrance ingredients as Unova and Kalos had done. Professor Cedar of Coalboro Town offers the starter Pokémon known as Floraptor, Wolfire, or Aquana to Trainers beginning their journey of this vast land.
